Born in Fez, Morocco. Editor and compiler of a
selection of some important works by Moroccan rabbis, both printed and
manuscripts, thus forming one of the largest collections of Jewish religious
writings from Morocco. R. Yosef Ben Naim is the author of "Sefer Malke Rabanan"
(Jerusalem 1931), a compilation of biographical and bibliographical material
about Moroccan rabbis. After his death in 1961, his library was sold to the
Jewish Theological Seminary of New York; unfortunately it was partially
destroyed in a fire.
